This is the most expensive machine I have and the one I use the most, in fact, almost daily. I had Plate snacks do a custom Bear sticker for the stack, which makes me smile when I work out. In general, I do lat raises and chest flys - it is excellent for both of those and easy to switch. Way more weight than I'll ever use and takes up very little space in a small gym. I purchased the knurled handles and aluminum pullies but the pullies that come on it are just as smooth. If you have one, keep the guides lubed with silicone spray.

I really struggle as an older lifter with ankle mobilty and I like lifting off plates, I bought this for my Force USE compact leg press but ended up using it weekly for barbell squats. Is pretty rugged and looks cool, wasn't cheap but is well made and I like to support smaller entrepreneurs like this company. Has two levels but I generally use the tallest setting. Is great for kettle bell squats, too. Wish it came is a slightly wider version as my stance is wide.

I met these guys at HCG 2026 and we had a lot of fun lifting heavy stuff at their booth. I bought my son-in-law a grenade grip for his home gym and ordered the gummy bear and both atomic bombs for cable work in my gym. They are both fun to use and look super cool! They get a lot of comments and are well made.
